NYC Work Week 2

Another work week in NYC done.  I did a tiny bit of sight seeing after our work days this week.  I would provide you with a little description, but instead I will provide a post of pictures (with a few words because I cannot resist):

 Rockefeller Center
there's such a pretty light show on this store across from the tree every 4 minutes
Grand Central Station
Macy's on 34th Street
I ended up walking down here alone once and with Hilary once.  I loved it and thought it was adorable.  Hilary wasn't quite as impressed...
FAO Schwartz
Boom.  FAO Schwartz.  THE Big Piano.  Amazing.  (The employees were a bit robotic, but whatever.)  And since we were in a toy store late at night, we had it pretty much to ourselves.  Another highlight of the store was playing with the animal puppets with Hayden.  (They were very creative… a rat with a backpack, a tortoise, hamster, I can’t remember the animal that came out of the trash can.)  We could have entertained ourselves there for an hour.
Central Park
At one point we were walking around and Hilary & I were just laughing, laughing, laughing.  Hayden said, “Yeah that was funny.” very sarcastically.  Then we just kept laughing more.  Hayden then said, “You two must be delirious.”  That was one of my favorite parts of the week:  walking in the freezing cold, talking about nothing in particular and having a good no real reason laugh, but just letting go.
Times Square
Hilary & I had a system walking around.  She would say, "Let take a picture of this."  Expecting me to snap the shot and send her all of the photos afterwards.  (We came up with this system last Friday and it worked a-ok.)
Here we took the obligatory tourist photo...of Hayden taking the obligatory tourist photo ;)
bye 2013...you've been...interesting
When my flight landed in Chicago and I looked out the window and saw all the snow I thought, "Oh hello snow."  full disclosure:  Those may not have been weren't my exact thoughts.

 Oh, how I dislike winter, yes, I am fully aware it's not even winter yet.  This is the main reason I ask myself how much longer I can stay in Chicago.  

 But as I came back into the city from NYC, NYC is fun and stuff, but Chicago is home...for now.

Kitchen Safety

We moved!  We're in our new place and we just got wifi.  Wahoo! I definitely broke in the kitchen quickly.  I was making a panini type sandwich for a potluck get together so I preheated the oven.  The next thing I knew the fire alarm was going off.  Let me tell you they did not skimp on a very loud fire alarm.  Ahhhhhhhh I opened the oven, which I know you're not supposed to do.  In the moment, I think I needed to see what I was dealing with.  There were definite flames.  Ahhhhhhhh So I called Mike while trying to google what to do.  He was super calm the entire call while I freaked out (it probably helped that he couldn't see the smoke billowing out of the oven).   He said to throw baking soda on it.  I did.  It seemed to fizzle but came back. I searched the apartment for a fire extinguisher (maybe I should have looked for one before this moment). This is while I kept trying to silence the fire alarm (to no avail) and open windows to let out smoke. Then Mike

I have a few things to update on today =) Oh I just finished the best meal I've had since I arrived and it was oh sooooo good! I'm so full and happy right now! It was a mexican meal so at least i know i'm going to the right country. yesterday Tere asked me to lead a little yoga class. automatically i said yes because that's how i am, but on the walk from the classroom to outside i started to get nervous. the only person i ever lead in yoga was karen & she laughed the majority of the time (it doesn't really count). i just took deep breaths and i did it. it actually was great. once we started i was able to integrate some favorite posses of the people in the class it was great towards the end when marcelle (who is rather soft spoken, but i love her) lead a few poses as well. i was actually happy with myself. namaste i love our group. everyone is similar that we all have this interest to do missionary work, but we are all very unique and different at the s

Spring!

Yes, I know it is not spring yet.   Today's the meteorological beginning of spring or something, isn't it? I definitely suffered some winter blues last month (yeah, it's March!). Check out these tulip fields for your Friday! Normann Szkop  took awesome photos while flying over Dutch  tulip fields . ( via ) p.s. Two days later I'm still feeling amazing after my juice cleanse .  Yes, it's possible that's not what it's from, but considering nothing else has really changed (except starting a new month, which I am so excited about), it's getting the credit. HAPPY FRIDAY & HAPPY MARCH!
